Alice climbs 100 meters directly up the face of a cliff to reach the summit. Her friend Peter hikes the long way around taking a

3 km trail to meet her at the top of the cliff. Compare the distance and displacement of the two friends.

Answer:

Alice Distance = 100 meters

Peter's Distance = 3 km

Alice Displacement and Peter's displacement are both 100 meters upwards.

Explanation:

To solve this question, we have to first define distance and displacement.

Distance is simply the measurement of the sum of all paths travelled from one point to another while displacement is measurement of the shortest distance from initial point to final point.

Now, Alice and Peter are moving from the same point.

Alice distance travelled is 100 meters.

Also, her displacement will be 100 meters because it is the shortest distance to the summit of the cliff.

Now, for Peter, he decides to take a longer route which is 3 km in distance.

However, the shortest path which is the displacement is still 100 meters.

Thus, Peter's displacement is 100 meters.

An astronaut is in space with a baseball and a bowling ball. The astronaut pushes both objects in the same direction. If both ba
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

As a mass greater than that of baseball, at the moment of the bowling wave the moment of the baseball ball is also greater

Explanation:

This problem is an application of momentum and momentum. When the astronaut pushed balls, he needed more force to move the ball of greater mass (bowling). The expression for soul is

      p = m v

Besibol Blade

      p1 = m1 v

Bowling ball

      p2 = m2 v

As a mass greater than that of baseball, at the moment of the bowling wave the moment of the baseball ball is also greater

      p2 >> p1

A charge q of magnitude 6.4 × 10^-19 coulombs moves from point A to point B in an electric field of 6.5 × 10^4 newtons/coulomb.
lana [24]

In this problem we have the electric field intensity E:

E = 6.5 × 10^4 newtons/coulomb

We have the magnitude of the load:

q = 6.4 × 10 ^{-19} coulombs

We also have the distance d that the load moved in a direction parallel to the field 1.2 × 10^{-2} meters.

We know that the electric potential energy (PE) is:

PE = qEd

So:

PE = (6.4 × 10^{-19})(6.5 × 10^4)(1.2 × 10^{-2})

PE = 5.0 x 10^{-16} joules

None of the options shown is correct.

A child of mass 40.0 kg is in a roller coaster car that travels in a loop of radius 7.00 m. at point a the speed of the car is 1
pav-90 [236]
I attached the missing picture.
The force of seat acting on the child is a reaction the force of child pressing down on the seat. This is the third Newton's law. The force of a child pressing down the seat and the force of the seat pushing up on the child are the same.
There two forces acting on the child. The first one is the gravitational force and the second one is centrifugal force. In this example, the force of gravity is always pulling down, but centrifugal force always acts away from the center of circular motion.
Part A
For point A we have:
F_a=F_cf-F_g
In this case, the forces are aligned, centrifugal is pointing up and gravitational is pulling down.
F_a=m\frac{v^2}{r}-mg=179 $N
Part B
At the point, B situation is a bit more complicated. In this case force of gravity and centrifugal force are not aligned. We have to look at y components of this forces, y-axis, in this case, is just pointing upward.
F=F_{cf}\cos(30)-mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\cos(30)-mg=153.2$N
Part C
The child will stay in place at point A when centrifugal force and force of gravity are in balance:
F_g=F_{cf}\\&#10;mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\&#10;gr=v^2\\&#10;v=\sqrt{gr}=8.29\frac{m}{s}
